You make a good point, but I think the most important there, is that she took away a lot of things dear to cedric... She mainly she wants to make him happy because of that.. She IS culprit. Plus if what redhead said is true and she had feelings for cedric back then but still acted as a villainess for her mother and brother... She must have been heartbroken since the very begining
I agree with you on this too. At the end of the day, Tia believes she does not deserve anything good. Her mother is a narcissist who put her brother on the pedestal, and because of her family, Tia made those that truly are generous and kind towards her to feel broken and lost. If anything, I can see why the saintess forgave her because despite her hurting others in the past, she was the one that hurt the most because of her own actions.
hating on tia bc she's "dense" is one of the stupidest thing i've ever read. she may be a great strategist but she has a very low self-esteem. her mother would pit them together and calling herself to be the most beautiful, most deserving of love and attention while her daughter wears old dresses and never gets to enjoy proper meal until cedric comes around. imagine living like that for 16/17 years. you're bound to feel like you're undeserving of what you actually deserve.
